#45: The Same Line
This person tried a very interesting experience when they were traveling with their friend recently. They were on a road trip and ended up staying at nine different hotels over the span of ten days. Before they’d go in to book a room, they discussed their budget and the price range they would agree upon when talking to the front desk. While they were doing this, they noticed something interesting.
Every single hotel they went to said the same line, without fail. They always said the room they were offering was the “last available room for tonight,” as an excuse for why the price was so high. It made this storyteller wonder if that line is a universal hotel trick to try and get a higher rate for last-minute travelers. It probably is.
